Danielle Staub Blames Blackmail for Sex Tape Release

But if there's something that bothers us about celebrities across the board, it's when they throw themselves pity parties and/or present themselves in a phony manner. Just be true to who you are, people.

In that regard, it was almost refreshing to listen to Staub basically admit she put her own sex tape out and not pretend as if it won't benefit her financially. Until a recent interview with Hollywood Life. Responding to accusations that she's behind the release of Danielle Staub Raw, the reality star said:

“I would never release my own sex tape. I would never do such a thing. I’m already in the media and we’re in season on the show, so why would I do something like this?”

Just a few gueses: more money? More attention? Because you're an insecure, pathetic excuse for a responsible mother?

Staub continued, telling the site: “I had a sexual relationship that was supposed to remain private. I was approached and I’ve been being blackmailed for quite some time and there’s NOTHING I could do to shut it down."

But... wait. Didn't you shut down the release of a previous video? It's called extortion, Danielle. There most definitely are legal steps you could take to prevent it.

“I feel like shit,” Staub concluded. “It bothers me, but I’m not ashamed. I’m a woman... I had a sexual relationship that was supposed to remain private and the fact that it’s not private shows the type of society this is. I’m not ashamed of my body or myself. I have thick skin."

Actually, based on the images that have surfaced, you have wrinky, unattractive skin. We really wish we didn't know that.
